Grant Ellis and Juliana Pasquarosa are sharing a thorny update on life after their final rose.
In a surprising turn of events, the latest star of “The Bachelor” and his season 29 winner announced their split only three months after their engagement was made official following the finale in March.
As a lifestyle advisor, I’d like to share a personal update with you all. With a heavy heart, I find myself at a crossroads as Juliana and I have decided to part ways in our relationship. This decision wasn’t made lightly; we both invested our time, effort, and affection into one another, but after thoughtful discussions and soul-searching, we’ve come to realize that our paths may not be aligned long term.
He added, “The bond we formed during the show was genuine and significant. Not only was it authentic, but the efforts we put in to maintain that connection off-camera were also sincere.
Grant went on to note the mutual respect he and his former fiancée have for one another.
He expressed, “Here there is only positivity. No bitterness or anger. Instead, it’s a bond between two individuals who deeply value each other and wish nothing but the best for each other in the future.
In wrapping up his message, he expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the experiences they had together and the personal growth those times fostered. He also extended thanks to all who stood by them and backed their adventure. As this phase comes to a close, they both depart with affection and admiration in their hearts.
28-year-old Juliana expressed the same feeling, saying, “We continue to encourage one another even though we are apart now.
She expressed in her June 13 Instagram post that we had a profound experience together, walking through an exclusive path side by side, gaining knowledge, evolving, and supporting each other to the best of our abilities. Although this isn’t the conclusion we initially envisioned, it’s one characterized by mutual understanding, compassion, and optimism for what lies beyond.
In March, fans witnessed a heartwarming moment when Grant proposed to Juliana following a tough farewell to the runner-up, Litia Garr.
During the most challenging periods of your existence, remember you’re never truly alone,” Grant stated, moments before proposing. “I promise to stand by you, not just as a romantic partner or a friend, but as a companion in every sense.

In the season finale of “The Bachelorette” (season 21), it appeared that former “Bachelor” contestant Jenn Tran had found her perfect match in Devin Strader. However, during an appearance on “After the Final Rose” in September, Jenn, aged 26, disclosed that Devin, also 28, turned cold towards her once the cameras were no longer rolling.
During the September 3rd show, Jenn explained to host Jesse Palmer that the man she was with had been expressing strong declarations of affection one day, only to be completely indifferent and deny any feelings of love the next. She added that all the promises he had made to her, as well as the love he had claimed to want for her, seemed to disappear overnight.
The situation escalated further as Devin posted a 13-minute video on Instagram, explaining his perspective and also discussing reasons for ending the relationship during a 15-minute phone conversation, while acknowledging responsibility along the way.
While Jenn asserted that he ended their relationship over the phone in August, he countered by saying that Jenn had asked him about his problems and wanted him to reveal it in person before the breakup.
He admitted that he wasn’t sure what other option he had, implying he had been holding back until he could tell her face-to-face. Essentially, she made the situation such that I had no choice but to act.
After that, Jenn made her way to Dancing With the Stars, and there’s a chance she found herself drawn to her partner Sasha Farber, given that speculations about their romantic involvement have persisted since their elimination on October 29th.
